No one can judge me more harshly
Than I already judge myself
The bar of my own expectation is higher
Than anything others expect
Need to leave that big box of deficiency
Right up there on that high shelf
The daily rocks that I add to my pack
Accumulate so I'll get wrecked
There's a time to disencumber
A time to embrace some peace
We gather up messages of not good enough
We need some news of release
There's a time to disencumber
To put aside how we self-reject
Don't look for bad news you can do nothing about
And find some good tunes to select
I'm not saying to walk around blindly
But it don't help to stare at the light
In the interrogation room inside your mind
Cause it won't leave you feeling too bright
There's a time to disencumber
A time to walk around free
Among people I maybe know nothing about
But at least they also don't know me
Disencumber, we are human
Equally valuable, all of us flawed
Disencumber, it's okay
None of us can claim to be God
There's a time to disencumber
A time to embrace some peace
We gather up messages of not good enough
We need some news of release
We need some news of release
